REEL AN D DRUM.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 17, 1908.

Application filed April 7, 1908. Serial No. 425,725.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, S UIRE C. SAMPSON, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Reels and Drums, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to reels and drums particularly designed for oil and Artesian well riggings.

The primary object of my invention is to provide a light and durable metallic reel constructed of comparatively few parts easily and quickly assembled.

A further object of this invention is to dispense with the use of wood in manufacturing sand reels, and to provide a simple and inexpensive metallic structure that can be economically used in the oil fields.

With the above and other objects in view which will readily appear as the invention is better understood, the same consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts to be presently described and then specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In the drawings, Figure l is a plan of my improved reel. Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view of a pulley or wheel used in connection with the reel. Fig. 3 is a view of one end of a reel. Fig. 4 is a cross sectional view taken on the line 00-00 of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a plan of a gudgeon detached from the reel, and Fig. 6 is a view of the opposite end of the reel from that illustrated in Fig. 3.

To put my invention into practice, I provide the ends of a metallic tubular reel-shaft 1 with gudgeons 2, said gudgeons being secured in the ends of the tubular reel-shaft 1 by screw bolts 3.

Upon the tubular reel-shaft 1, contiguous to one end thereof, I arrange a plurality of sets of radiating arms, each set comprising four radiating arms 4. bent to engage onequarter the periphery of the reel-shaft 1, said arms being secured to one another by bolts 5 and nuts 6, whereby said arms will be firmly clamped upon the tubular reelshaft 1 to provide partitions for cables to be wound upon said reel shaft. The outer ends of the arms 4 are beveled, as at 7 to prevent a cable from being injured, also to guide a cable when being wound iipon the reel shaft.

Mounted upon the reel-shaft 1 adjacent to the opposite end thereof is a metallic friction wheel 8 which is secured to the reel shaft 1 by a plurality of screw bolts 9 passing through the hub portion 10 of the wheel, these screw bolts firmly holding said wheel and causing the same to rotate in unison with the reel-shaft 1.

It is apparent that I have devised a novel metallic reel consisting of comparatively few structural elements that can be easily assembled.

My invention is susceptible to such structural changes as are permissible by the appended claim.

Having now described my invention what I claim as new, is

A reel of the type described, comprising a tubular reelshaft, gudgeons fitted in the ends of said shaft, and a friction wheel carried by said shaft adjacent one end, combined with a plurality of spaced partitions on the tubular reel-shaft, each partition comprising a plurality of members, each of the same shape and size and each embodying a curved portion engaging the reel-shaft and arms of unequal length projecting from opposite ends of said curved portions, each of said arms extending radially of the reelshaft, the shorter arm of each member rigidly connected to the longer arm of an adjacent member at a point adjacent one end of the longer arm, the other ends of the longer arms being free from connection with each other.

In testimony whereof I afliX my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

SQUIRE C. SAMPSON.
